>the Alliance for Access to Computing Careers (AccessComputing) at
>the University of Washington in Seattle. The development and
>distribution of these materials is funded by the National Science
>Foundation (NSF Cooperative Agreement #0227995 and grant
>#CNS-0540615.
>
>Most of these materials are also available on the DO-IT website at
>http://www.washington.edu/doit. At this location you will also find
>a Knowledge Base of questions and answers, case studies, and
>promising practices. Select the "Search DO-IT Knowledge Base" link
>on the vertical bar on the left side of the DO-IT home page.

>Note that the DVDs include talking menus to assure that they can be
>operated by individuals who are blind. In addition, all of the video
>presentations on the DVDs are open captioned and an audio described
>version of each is included.
>
>We have some copies of these products that we are willing to send to
>those who request them. If you would like the materials to be sent
>to you and/or if you would like printed materials in alternate
